Enterprise storage will be a major focus for Datacentrix in 2002, says Bertus Homan, director at Datacentrix.
"With statistics from Gartner stating that more storage has been deployed over the past 12 months than in all previous years combined and IDC stating that the entire storage software market is expected to reach the $10 billion mark in 2005, we have solid confirmation of the strategy."
Datacentrix has geared up to meet the storage needs of local companies with its Enterprise Storage division -- focused on providing enterprise wide storage services and solutions, from open platforms, such as NT, Unix and Novell, to mainframes, including S/390.
Says Homan: "Our services range from an enterprise storage inventory to the recommendation and successful implementation of the solution. This includes planning, selection of the optimal solution, configuration, integration, installation and support services."
Datacentrix adds value by providing "best-of-breed" solutions in the following sectors of the data storage market: removable storage (libraries and jukeboxes), integrated solutions based on the implementation of disk sub-systems, RAID, network attached storage (NAS), direct attached storage (DAS) and storage area networks (SAN). The organisation also caters for business continuity, backup and recovery, data archive and retrieval, Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), mass storage solutions, storage management and reporting, storage automation for open systems as well as IBM S/390 environments and high-end HP Unix servers.
"Through strong relationships with leading hardware and software partners, Datacentrix occupies an important position in its ability to provide highly Cost-effective and best-of-breed storage and high-end Unix server solutions," explains Homan.
Datacentrix partners with industry leaders to provide enterprise storage solutions. "We carefully select our business partners based on their top-rated products and their commitment to excellence in the data storage industry. Our partners are high-growth companies whose success is well documented and the combination of our in-house data storage specialists with our partners` products is matchless in the field."
Datacentrix is an HP Enterprise partner, enabling the organisation to sell all HP enterprise storage products including high-end disk, tape libraries, Unix servers and HP Openview products. In addition, the company is a Compaq storage partner able to sell and install all StorageWorks products and an IBM Tier 1 storage partner, allowing them to source all IBM storage products, including disk, tape and TSM software products, directly from IBM.
Other products covered by the Datacentrix Enterprise Storage division include ADIC`s family of storage management solutions and the CA: SAMS range of storage management and reporting products.
